A café rarely needs a point of sale replaced. It needs a stamp card customers will actually carry, a menu that can be changed without reprinting, and gift cards at Christmas. Bought separately, the loyalty product alone usually costs more than everything Shopolo charges. Here is what each job is priced at on its own.

Stamp Me figures are from its published plan pages; Mailchimp is priced by contact count and Giftfly by transaction percentage, so neither has a single figure to add. Shopolo’s Plus addon is $19/month and covers loyalty stamps and email campaigns together, with a 5,000-send monthly cap. The flat 1.9% platform fee applies only to payments you actually process — a stamp card and a QR menu cost nothing to run. Subject to change.
Every competitor figure on this page is the one carried on the comparison page it links to, where the source is named. Prices change and vary by country — check the vendor’s own pricing page before you decide.
A physical punch card has zero data attached to it. You can't email those customers. You can't see how often they visit. You can't know when they stopped coming in. A digital loyalty program gives you that data — and lets you act on it.
Your existing customers already know where you are. Reaching them costs you an email, not an ad budget — and Shopolo builds that list from every sale automatically.
First Data's 2018 study of 2,000+ US consumers found recipients spend an average of $59 above the value of the card when they redeem it.
Unlike loyalty apps that charge per-customer or per-stamp, Shopolo charges a flat monthly fee. Scale without paying per engagement.
Customers click your link, pick an amount, pay, and receive a digital gift card by email — in under a minute.
Yes — Shopolo replaces the paper punch card with a digital stamp card. Customers collect stamps by scanning a code at the counter, nothing to download, and you get a customer list you can actually email — which a paper punch card never gives you.
Yes — loyalty stamps and gift cards live on the same Shopolo storefront link. A regular can collect stamps on every visit and still buy a gift card for a friend from the same page, with no separate app or account.
The QR menu, storefront and gift cards are free on every Shopolo account, forever — no subscription, no card. Connect a free Stripe account when you're ready to sell gift cards; a flat 1.9% applies only to what sells. The loyalty stamp card needs the Plus addon, from $19/month.
It's a counter lookup, not a separate device: search the customer by name or email in your dashboard and tap Give Stamp. Once staff are used to it, the whole thing takes about 8 seconds — you can do it while the drink is being made.
Each comparison carries the vendor’s published pricing, the features Shopolo does not have, and the cases where the other platform is the better buy.
Your menu, storefront, ordering, reservations and gift cards are all free, forever — no subscription, no setup fees, no hardware. Connect a free Stripe account when you're ready to take payments.
